Controversy
In 2013, Niddodi became the center of public debate following a proposal to establish a 4000 MW ultra-mega power project by the National Thermal Power Corporation (NTPC).[8][9] Local residents, environmental activists, and church leaders raised objections, citing potential displacement, environmental degradation, and threats to the village’s agricultural economy and biodiversity. The protests eventually led to the shelving of the project, preserving the region’s rural character and ecology.[10]
